Through the Pyrenees: St. Jean Pied de Port – Roncesvalles on the Camino de Santiago

I love writing about the Camino de Santiago, but just like some of my posts are best without any pictures, sometimes pictures can tell a story by themselves. Here’s all you need to know: Two days ago I walked from France to Spain, and crossed a mountain range to get there. These photos (and one video) appear chronologically.

Wow! What an incredible journey – and there you are – still on your feet towards the end! The views are breathtaking – and I’ll bet the last part of the walk through those shaded trees was most welcome. The movement of the sun and shadows tells us how long this part of your adventure took – I agree with writingsphinx above, it is a privilege to be tagging along!

A: The climb was probably more arduous for the people who started that day–and I would say about 85% of the people I met were starting that day. Let’s just put it like this: I passed a whole bunch of people, but no one ever passed me.

A: I am using a Samsung ST76, a nifty little point-and-shoot I bought off of Groupon for just $50 a year ago. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Maybe one day I will feel like I’ve outgrown it, but for now it’s perfect to have. It’s lightweight, it’s not flashy like those thousand dollar Cannon ones are (I don’t want to draw any attention to my belongings), and worst case, if it succumbs to the wear of travel I’m only out $50 so I won’t have a breakdown over it.

A: I have a universal adapter that is supposed to work everywhere in Europe, including the UK, as well as Australia, Asia, and Africa. Haven’t had a chance to test it yet beyond Iceland, the UK, France and Spain 🙂
